Subject: [for-next][PATCH 14/15] tracing: Simplify pages allocation for tracing_map logic
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 10:35:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260522143527.139109060@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260522143508.298439732@kernel.org
From: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>
Change to a flexible array member to allocate together with the array
struct.
Simplifies code slightly by removing no longer correct null checks for
pages and removing kfrees.
